I wouldn’t leave home without a spare wheel, well in our camper anyway.
Although interestingly, I was chatting to a car designer down the pub, the other night. ( I know this sounds like a joke ! any way,) the space saving spare wheel came up in conversation. I was arguing that they are rubbish and all cars should have to have a full size spare,
He asked me “when was the last time I had had a puncture?” Well it at least a couple of years ago, and I wasn’t sure even of that! Then he said, “ when was the last time I was broken down at the side of the road? “ Again I couldn’t remember!
He reckoned that your just as likely to break down with a faulty water pump or coil pack, than you are to have a puncture, and no one carries a spare water pump!
I couldn’t really disagree with him....... but I’m still carrying my spare.
